I believe you have been what they call, “served”, Mr. Beutler.

Re traffic: Jealous much?

Teh wheel is a place where all religons, politics, or any other group ideas are treated with civility.

We are not united behind any one course, with teh exception of keeping track of teh menace known as Debbie Frisch.

You are welcome to visit or join us, as is anyone. Just remember that we do not suffer fools gladly.

Thanks for the link.

For the record, I like the Atrios line. Cute. Its a great piece of humor. We do have a lot of open threads, mostly because the conversation is free flowing and reader directed.

As some of the Gerbils have already said, we are not a politics site and we have moved on from "teh Deb", mostly. This was worth reporting, so it is there. It is also the reason the community formed. We had a database problem earlier this week, so you really didn't get a chance to see that 95% of the TSW content is non-deb related.

I hope you come back and check on us, or maybe even join the ranks of the Gerbil Nation. Once the DebStorm is over, we will be ourselves again.

However, even if every single one of us WERE Right, I fail to see what that has to do with the fact that this “woman” has done and said some of the most vile, loathsome and hurtful things towards people and especially children. She has lkeft noone unscathed with her anti-Semitic, anti-male, anti-Paternal, anti-Human attacks. She thinks herself along the same lines of a serial bomber and has even nick named her house after Ted Kasczinski’s. The amount of evil this woman represents is unfathomable and one of the last things she has stated on her blog before taking it down was how she may “Denton” herself in such a way as to make it appear as though someone…one of the four of us she has befouled, actually did her in.

We all started trying to get her to seek professional medical and psychological help. This has been spurned at every turn. Her exploits…not anyone else’s…has now left her in trouble with the law and will lead her into prison and quite possibly without a dime, let alone any belongings, before this is all said and done.

I would like to know why this…ANY of this…has anything to do with whatever political leaning we on The Wheel have other than the fact that she, and she alone, went out in search of Conservative blogs to foul, insult and attack in a sick, twisted fantasy of becoming the Left’s Ann Coulter and to be Colbert’s side-kick and co-host.

“I’m not familiar with Atrios or Eschaton; is that a good thing?”

It ain’t bad.

“TSW is not a primarily political site, I’ll give you that. But the comment threads do bear more than a passing resemblance to the off-the-cuff commentariat at Atrios;”

Please, spare us the condescension. You will “give” the Wheel nothing. No one can have a truly well informed opinion about the multiplicity of interesting communities on the net. Not even you. You should heed the road signs that give warning to opinion hazards that are a mile wide and an inch deep.

A lot of us don’t have blogs, including a number of the more left-leaning and/or libertarian. I can see where you would get that opinion from some of the personal blogs, but if you spent anytime at the wheel you would see that we just can’t be pigeonholed like that. There has been some recent “construction” at the wheel, so we are currently missing the political compass diagram that used to be posted (based on numbers from the web-based political compass site). If you had been able to see it, you would see that we cover the political spectrum. Beyond that, the biggest difference I see/feel is that differences of opinion are respected and the people at TSW go out of their way to not post things they know others would find offensive (with the exception of truly tasteless pictures of David Hasslehoff). From what I have seen and experienced, that is very unusual for any political site- right or left leaning.
